But whether or not the victim had a formal legal right to be riding there, that didn't justify somebody shouting and gesticulating at her, especially as there was plenty of room for both to pass. Whether Auriol Grey's actions amounted to criminality is another matter. The police and prosecution insisted that they did, mainly because of video evidence of the actual fall and the moment the car hit which was never published. They were so confident of their case hat they pressed for a retrial after the jury failed to reach a verdict first time round.
The appeal appears to have succeeded after highly technical arguments about the criteria for manslaughter. Anyway a sad case for all concerned.
